O hotel é um hotel boutique, numa construção antiga que lembra as construções marroquinas. Achei muiot legal o quarto, o banheiro e as comodidades. Pessoal atencioso e cuidadoso. Localização excelente e segura. Vale a pena se hospedar nele. Recomendo a experiência do hotel e do entorno.

A nice boutique hotel located in a very downtown of Stone Town. It is kept in a vintige wooden style, but rooms are fully equipped with AC and safe. The breakfast is served on a top floor terrace with a nice view over surrounding rooftops (photos attached). We spent there two nights, with a warm welcome at reception and we were nicely treated with a typical local appreciation and helpfulness. Rooms were very quiet even when there was a lot of construction ongoing nearby. Location is in a walking distance to any old town attraction.

We recently stayed at a 4-star hotel in Stone Town and, unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. The staff were friendly, but not particularly proactive or helpful when issues arose. While we appreciated the warm demeanor, the service didn’t quite meet the standard you’d expect from a hotel rated at this level. Breakfast was served on the rooftop, which did offer a lovely view of the city and ocean—a definite highlight. However, the breakfast options were quite limited, and the overall quality was underwhelming. Our biggest disappointment was with the room itself. We stayed in the “Living Stone” room, which looked charming and character-filled in the online photos. In reality, the room was fairly basic and lacked any of the charm or ambiance we had anticipated. It felt rather plain and unremarkable. Cleanliness was a significant issue. Upon arrival, we discovered the bed linens were dirty and had to request that the bed be remade—a surprising oversight. Even after that, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. To make matters worse, the bathroom had a persistent sewage odor that was impossible to ignore. While the hotel has potential—particularly with its rooftop and central location—it fell short in areas that really matter: cleanliness, comfort, and value for money. Sadly, we left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t return or recommend it to others without significant improvements.

Absolutely beautiful and historic hotel near shopping, dining and city sights.

The property needs an upgrade. The breakfast quality needs improvement. The dining staff service needs improvement.

This hotel is a beautiful old original Arab style house in stone town full of original features and decor. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. I rea example of a comfortable hotel with the genuine Swahili coast experience

Jafferji is unique in style and the room were very spacious

Beautiful heritage hotel in the center of Stone Town, close to many attractions. Room was super large and carefully decorated with local artifacts and furniture. I loved the breakfast on the rooftop with a 365 degree view of the city! Special call to the staff who was very friendly, attentive and who helped us organize a car transfer to our next destination.

Unique property. Kind staff. Good breakfast. Great aircon!
